 タイヤバルブ4は、タイヤバルブ4の動作を制御するコントローラ6と、タイヤ空気圧を検出する圧力検出部7と、タイヤ2の温度を検出する温度検出部8と、タイヤバルブ4に発生する重力を検出する重力検出部9と、タイヤバルブ4から電波Svaを送信するために用いられる送信アンテナ10とを備える。コントローラ6は、メモリ11を備えている。このメモリ11には、各タイヤバルブ4に固有の上記バルブIDが記憶されている。圧力検出部7は、例えば圧力センサである。温度検出部8は、例えば温度センサである。重力検出部9は、例えば加速度センサ(Gセンサ)である。送信アンテナ10は、例えばUHF(Ultra High Frequency)帯の電波Svaを送信する。 The tire valve 4 detects a controller 6 that controls the operation of the tire valve 4, a pressure detection unit 7 that detects tire air pressure, a temperature detection unit 8 that detects the temperature of the tire 2, and gravity that occurs in the tire valve 4. And a transmission antenna 10 used for transmitting the radio wave Sva from the tire valve 4. The controller 6 includes a memory 11. The memory 11 stores the valve ID unique to each tire valve 4. The pressure detection unit 7 is a pressure sensor, for example. The temperature detector 8 is a temperature sensor, for example. The gravity detection unit 9 is an acceleration sensor (G sensor), for example. The transmission antenna 10 transmits, for example, a radio wave Sva in a UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band.
 受信機12は、TPMS受信機12として設けられている。TPMS受信機12は、各タイヤバルブ4から電波Svaを受信することにより、各タイヤ2の空気圧を監視する。TPMS受信機12は、TPMS受信機12の動作を制御するタイヤ空気圧監視ECU(Electronic Control Unit)13と、電波Svaを受信するために用いられる受信アンテナ14とを備える。タイヤ空気圧監視ECU13は、メモリ15を備えている。各タイヤバルブ4a~4dからTPMS受信機12に送信されたバルブIDは、対応するタイヤ2のタイヤ位置と関連付けられてメモリ15に記憶される。TPMS受信機12は、タイヤ空気圧の監視結果を表示する表示部16に接続されている。表示部16は、例えば車内のインストルメントパネルに設置される。 The receiver 12 is provided as a TPMS receiver 12. The TPMS receiver 12 monitors the air pressure of each tire 2 by receiving the radio wave Sva from each tire valve 4. The TPMS receiver 12 includes a tire pressure monitoring ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 13 that controls the operation of the TPMS receiver 12 and a receiving antenna 14 that is used to receive the radio wave Sva. The tire pressure monitoring ECU 13 includes a memory 15. The valve ID transmitted from each tire valve 4a to 4d to the TPMS receiver 12 is stored in the memory 15 in association with the tire position of the corresponding tire 2. The TPMS receiver 12 is connected to a display unit 16 that displays the monitoring result of the tire air pressure. The display part 16 is installed, for example in the instrument panel in a vehicle.
 TPMS受信機12は、あるタイミングにおいてタイヤバルブ4a~4dから送信された電波Svaを受信アンテナ14にて受信する。TPMS受信機12は、この電波SvaからバルブIDを取得して、バルブIDの照合を行う。そして、バルブIDの照合が成立すれば、TPMS受信機12は、タイヤバルブ4の空気圧データを確認する。タイヤ空気圧が低圧閾値以下であれば、TPMS受信機12は、タイヤ空気圧が低圧である旨をタイヤ位置とともに表示部16に表示する。TPMS受信機12は、この空気圧判定を電波Svaの受信ごとに行って、タイヤ2a~2dの空気圧を逐次監視する。 The TPMS receiver 12 receives the radio wave Sva transmitted from the tire valves 4a to 4d at a certain timing by the receiving antenna. The TPMS receiver 12 obtains the valve ID from the radio wave Sva and collates the valve ID. And if collation of valve ID is materialized, TPMS receiver 12 will check the air pressure data of tire valve 4. If the tire pressure is equal to or lower than the low pressure threshold, the TPMS receiver 12 displays on the display unit 16 together with the tire position that the tire pressure is low. The TPMS receiver 12 performs this air pressure determination every time the radio wave Sva is received, and sequentially monitors the air pressure of the tires 2a to 2d.
 タイヤ空気圧監視システム3は、タイヤバルブ4a~4dのバルブIDを、右前タイヤ2a、左前タイヤ2b、右後タイヤ2c、左後タイヤ2dにそれぞれ関連付けて、それらバルブIDをTPMS受信機12に自動で登録するためのタイヤ位置自動登録機能、いわゆるオートロケーション機能を有するタイヤ位置登録システム17を備える。タイヤ位置登録システム17は、タイヤ2(2a~2d)を支持する車軸18(18a~18d)の回転位置(回転量)を検出する手段を含み、タイヤ2に取り付けられたタイヤバルブ4がその回転軌跡上で特定位置に達するときに車軸18の回転位置を取得する。タイヤ位置登録システム17は、このような処理を複数回繰り返すことによりタイヤ2(タイヤバルブ4)と同期して回転する車軸18を特定し、タイヤバルブ4のバルブIDをタイヤ2に関連付けることによりタイヤ2a~2dの位置を判定する。 The tire pressure monitoring system 3 automatically associates the valve IDs of the tire valves 4a to 4d with the right front tire 2a, the left front tire 2b, the right rear tire 2c, and the left rear tire 2d, and automatically associates these valve IDs with the TPMS receiver 12. A tire position registration system 17 having a tire position automatic registration function for registration, a so-called auto location function is provided. The tire position registration system 17 includes means for detecting the rotational position (rotation amount) of the axle 18 (18a to 18d) that supports the tire 2 (2a to 2d), and the tire valve 4 attached to the tire 2 is rotated. The rotational position of the axle 18 is acquired when a specific position is reached on the trajectory. The tire position registration system 17 identifies the axle 18 that rotates in synchronization with the tire 2 (the tire valve 4) by repeating such a process a plurality of times, and associates the valve ID of the tire valve 4 with the tire 2 to associate the tire with the tire 2. The positions 2a to 2d are determined.
 図2は、重力検出部9により検出される重力成分を示す。重力検出部9は、タイヤ2の回転に応じてタイヤバルブ4に作用する重力成分を検出する。タイヤバルブ4は、タイヤ2の回転軌跡上においてピーク位置で電波Svaを送信する。例えば、ピーク位置は、タイヤ2の回転軌跡上における「12時の位置」である。タイヤ位置登録システム17は、タイヤバルブ4がピーク位置に到達した場合に、タイヤバルブ4が電波Svaを送信して、タイヤ位置の判定を開始する。なお、実際には、タイヤバルブ4が電波Svaを送信する位置(電波送信タイミング)は「公差」を有し、ピーク位置を中心とする公差の範囲でばらつく。 FIG. 2 shows the gravity component detected by the gravity detector 9. The gravity detector 9 detects a gravity component that acts on the tire valve 4 according to the rotation of the tire 2. The tire valve 4 transmits the radio wave Sva at the peak position on the rotation locus of the tire 2. For example, the peak position is a “12 o'clock position” on the rotation locus of the tire 2. When the tire valve 4 reaches the peak position, the tire position registration system 17 transmits the radio wave Sva and starts the tire position determination. Actually, the position at which the tire valve 4 transmits the radio wave Sva (radio wave transmission timing) has a “tolerance” and varies within a tolerance range centered on the peak position.
 図1に示すように、車両1は、車軸18a~18dにそれぞれ対応して設けられた車軸回転検出部19(19a~19d)を備える。車軸回転検出部19a~19dは、例えば、車軸18a~18dに設けられたABS(Antilock Brake System)センサである。この場合、車軸回転情報Dcは、例えば、ABSセンサから出力されるパルス計数値である。車軸回転検出部19は、車軸18に設けられた複数(例えば48個)の歯をセンシング部で検出することにより、車軸回転情報Dcとして矩形波形状のパルス信号をTPMS受信機12に供給する。TPMS受信機12は、パルス信号の立ち上がりエッジ及び立ち下がりエッジの両方を検出するのであれば、タイヤ2の1回転あたり96パルス(カウント値Ct:0~95)を検出する。これにより、TPMS受信機12は、車軸回転検出部19a~19dから供給された車軸回転情報Dcに応じて、車軸18a~18dの回転位置(回転量)を判定する。例えば、TPMS受信機12は、タイヤバルブ4からの電波Svaを受信した場合に車軸回転検出部19a~19dから車軸回転情報Dcを受け取って、車軸18a~18dの回転位置を判定する。TPMS受信機12は、判定された車軸18a~18dの回転位置に基づいてタイヤ2(タイヤバルブ4)と同期して回転する車軸18を特定する。TPMS受信機12は、各車軸18a~18dの車軸回転情報Dcをカウンタ20によって計測する。カウンタ20は、4つの車軸18a~18dごとに設けられるとともに、4輪のバルブID1~バルブID4ごとに設けられる。したがって、16個のカウンタ20が設けられている。すなわち、複数のカウンタ20は、複数の車軸18にそれぞれ対応して設けられている。各カウンタ20は、複数の車軸18のうちの対応する一つの車軸18の回転角度に応じてカウントし、車軸回転情報Dcとしてカウント値Ctを生成する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 1 includes an axle rotation detection unit 19 (19a to 19d) provided corresponding to each of the axles 18a to 18d. The axle rotation detectors 19a to 19d are, for example, ABS (Antilock Brake System) sensors provided on the axles 18a to 18d. In this case, the axle rotation information Dc is, for example, a pulse count value output from the ABS sensor. The axle rotation detection unit 19 detects a plurality of (for example, 48) teeth provided on the axle 18 by the sensing unit, and supplies a rectangular wave-shaped pulse signal to the TPMS receiver 12 as the axle rotation information Dc. The TPMS receiver 12 detects 96 pulses (count value Ct: 0 to 95) per rotation of the tire 2 if both the rising edge and the falling edge of the pulse signal are detected. Thus, the TPMS receiver 12 determines the rotational positions (rotation amounts) of the axles 18a to 18d according to the axle rotation information Dc supplied from the axle rotation detection units 19a to 19d. For example, when receiving the radio wave Sva from the tire valve 4, the TPMS receiver 12 receives the axle rotation information Dc from the axle rotation detection units 19a to 19d and determines the rotational positions of the axles 18a to 18d. The TPMS receiver 12 identifies the axle 18 that rotates in synchronization with the tire 2 (tire valve 4) based on the determined rotational positions of the axles 18a to 18d. The TPMS receiver 12 measures the axle rotation information Dc of each axle 18a to 18d by the counter 20. The counter 20 is provided for each of the four axles 18a to 18d and is provided for each of the four-wheel valve ID1 to valve ID4. Therefore, 16 counters 20 are provided. That is, the plurality of counters 20 are provided corresponding to the plurality of axles 18 respectively. Each counter 20 counts according to the rotation angle of one corresponding axle 18 among the plurality of axles 18, and generates a count value Ct as axle rotation information Dc.
 図3は、タイヤ位置登録システム17において予め設定された複数の同期輪許容域Etの説明図を示す。各同期輪許容域Etは、タイヤ2が1回転する度に繰り返し取得される車軸回転情報Dc(カウント値Ct)の1周期のうちの特定範囲である。例えば、複数の同期輪許容域Etは、車軸回転情報Dc(カウント値Ct)が「1」ずつ増加する(図3の矢印A方向)ようにずれている。本実施形態では、カウント値Ctの1周期は、タイヤ2が1周する間にカウンタ20によって検出される「96」である。例えば、同期輪許容域Et(カウンタ1周期内の特定範囲)は、開始点Paから終了点Pbまでの24個のカウント値Ctの範囲である。この場合、1番目の同期輪許容域Et-0は、図3に示すように開始点Pa「23」から終了点Pb「0」までの範囲である。同期輪許容域Etは、タイヤバルブ4が有する電波送信位置(電波送信タイミング)の公差に設定されている。例えば、複数の同期輪許容域Etの各データは、タイヤ空気圧監視ECU13のメモリ15に予め記憶されている。 FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a plurality of synchronous wheel allowable areas Et preset in the tire position registration system 17. Each synchronous wheel allowable range Et is a specific range in one cycle of the axle rotation information Dc (count value Ct) repeatedly acquired every time the tire 2 makes one rotation. For example, the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et are shifted so that the axle rotation information Dc (count value Ct) increases by “1” (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, one cycle of the count value Ct is “96” detected by the counter 20 while the tire 2 makes one round. For example, the synchronous wheel allowable range Et (a specific range within one counter cycle) is a range of 24 count values Ct from the start point Pa to the end point Pb. In this case, the first synchronous wheel allowable range Et-0 is a range from the start point Pa “23” to the end point Pb “0” as shown in FIG. The synchronous wheel allowable range Et is set to the tolerance of the radio wave transmission position (radio wave transmission timing) of the tire valve 4. For example, each data of the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable areas Et is stored in advance in the memory 15 of the tire pressure monitoring ECU 13.
 図1に戻って参照すると、タイヤ位置登録システム17は、各タイヤバルブ4がその回転軌跡上で特定位置に達するときにタイヤバルブ4から送信されるバルブIDと、車軸18a~18dの車軸回転情報Dcとの一致性を確認することによってタイヤ位置を判定する位置判定部21を備える。位置判定部21は、タイヤ空気圧監視ECU13に設けられる。位置判定部21は、複数の同期輪許容域Etのうちのどの許容域が、バルブIDを受信したときに取得された車軸回転情報Dcを含むのかを確認することにより、バルブIDを車軸18に関連付けてタイヤ位置を判定する。すなわち、位置判定部21は、1つの車軸18の1回転に対応する1つの車軸回転情報Dcの1周期において設定された複数の同期輪許容域Etを有する。 Referring back to FIG. 1, the tire position registration system 17 includes a valve ID transmitted from the tire valve 4 when each tire valve 4 reaches a specific position on its rotation locus, and axle rotation information of the axles 18a to 18d. A position determination unit 21 that determines the tire position by confirming the coincidence with Dc is provided. The position determination unit 21 is provided in the tire pressure monitoring ECU 13. The position determination unit 21 confirms which allowable range of the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et includes the axle rotation information Dc acquired when the valve ID is received, so that the valve ID is set to the axle 18. The tire position is determined in association. That is, the position determination unit 21 has a plurality of synchronous wheel tolerances Et set in one cycle of one axle rotation information Dc corresponding to one revolution of one axle 18.
 次に、図4及び図5は、タイヤ位置登録システム17の動作説明図を示す。なお、例えば、タイヤ位置登録システム17は、車両1のイグニッションスイッチがオンされて走行が開始されたときにタイヤ位置判定を開始する。 Next, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show an operation explanatory diagram of the tire position registration system 17. For example, the tire position registration system 17 starts the tire position determination when the ignition switch of the vehicle 1 is turned on to start running.
 図4に示すように、位置判定部21は、タイヤバルブ4の電波Sva(例えばバルブID1)を受信したときに、つまりタイヤバルブ4が回転軌跡上で特定位置に達したときに車軸回転情報Dc(カウント値Ct)を取得する。位置判定部21は、複数の同期輪許容域Etのうちのどの許容域が、取得された車軸回転情報Dcを含むのかを判定する。具体的には、まず位置判定部21は、予め設定されたスタート位置に1番目(図中のNo.0)の同期輪許容域Et-0をセットし、1番目の同期輪許容域Et-0が車軸回転情報Dcを含むか否かを判定する。例えば、1番目の同期輪許容域Et-0の終了点Pbが、スタート位置としてカウント値Ct「0」にセットされ、1番目の同期輪許容域Et-0の開始点Paが、スタート位置としてカウント値Ct「23」にセットされる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the position determination unit 21 receives the radio wave Sva (for example, valve ID1) of the tire valve 4, that is, when the tire valve 4 reaches a specific position on the rotation locus, the axle rotation information Dc. (Count value Ct) is acquired. The position determination unit 21 determines which allowable range of the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et includes the acquired axle rotation information Dc. Specifically, first, the position determination unit 21 sets the first (No. 0 in the figure) synchronous wheel allowable range Et-0 at a preset start position, and sets the first synchronous wheel allowable range Et−. It is determined whether 0 includes the axle rotation information Dc. For example, the end point Pb of the first synchronous wheel allowable range Et-0 is set to the count value Ct “0” as the start position, and the start point Pa of the first synchronous wheel allowable range Et-0 is set as the start position. The count value Ct is set to “23”.
 続いて、位置判定部21は、1番目の同期輪許容域Etの開始点Paおよび終了点Pbを車軸回転情報Dcが増加するように(図中の矢印A方向)所定量ずらした2番目(図中のNo.1)の同期輪許容域Et-1をセットし、2番目(図4のNo.1)の同期輪許容域Et-1が車軸回転情報Dcを含むか否かを判定する。例えば、同期輪許容域Etをずらす所定量は、カウンタ20のカウント値Ct「1」である。このとき、車軸回転情報Dcが例えば「22」であれば、位置判定部21は、2番目の同期輪許容域Et-1が1番目の同期輪許容域Et-1と同様に車軸回転情報Dcを含むと判定する。続いて、位置判定部21は、2番目の同期輪許容域Etの開始点Paおよび終了点Pbを車軸回転情報Dcが増加するように(図中の矢印A方向)所定量ずらした3番目(図中のNo.2)の同期輪許容域Etをセットし、3番目(図4のNo.2)の同期輪許容域Etが車軸回転情報Dcを含むか否かを判定する。同様に、位置判定部21は、4番目の同期輪許容域Et(図4のNo.3)、5番目の同期輪許容域Et(図4のNo.4)、・・・・・96番目の同期輪許容域Et(図4のNo.95)が車軸回転情報Dcを含むのかを順番に判定する。すなわち、各同期輪許容域Etは、開始カウント値Paおよび終了カウント値Pbを有する。位置判定部21は、複数の同期輪許容域Etを、開始カウント値Paおよび終了カウント値Pbをカウンタ20のカウント値の1周期期間において1以上のカウント値だけずらすことにより順番にずらす。 Subsequently, the position determination unit 21 shifts the start point Pa and end point Pb of the first synchronous wheel allowable range Et by a predetermined amount so that the axle rotation information Dc increases (in the direction of arrow A in the figure) (second ( No. 1) of the synchronous wheel allowable range Et-1 in the figure is set, and it is determined whether or not the second (No. 1 of FIG. 4) synchronous wheel allowable range Et-1 includes the axle rotation information Dc. . For example, the predetermined amount by which the synchronous wheel allowable range Et is shifted is the count value Ct “1” of the counter 20. At this time, if the axle rotation information Dc is, for example, “22”, the position determination unit 21 determines that the second synchronized wheel allowable range Et-1 is the same as the first synchronized wheel allowable range Et−1. Is determined to be included. Subsequently, the position determination unit 21 shifts the start point Pa and the end point Pb of the second synchronous wheel allowable range Et by a predetermined amount so that the axle rotation information Dc increases (in the direction of arrow A in the drawing) (third ( In the figure, No. 2) synchronous wheel allowable range Et is set, and it is determined whether or not the third (No. 2 in FIG. 4) synchronous wheel allowable range Et includes the axle rotation information Dc. Similarly, the position determination unit 21 includes a fourth synchronous wheel allowable range Et (No. 3 in FIG. 4), a fifth synchronous wheel allowable range Et (No. 4 in FIG. 4),... 96th. It is determined in turn whether the synchronous wheel allowable range Et (No. 95 in FIG. 4) includes the axle rotation information Dc. That is, each synchronous wheel allowable range Et has a start count value Pa and an end count value Pb. The position determination unit 21 sequentially shifts the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et by shifting the start count value Pa and the end count value Pb by one or more count values in one cycle period of the count value of the counter 20.
 位置判定部21は、1番目~96番目の同期輪許容域Et(同期輪許容域Etの各No)のうちの車軸回転情報Dcを含む複数の同期輪許容域Etに例えばフラグ「1」を設定する。反対に、位置判定部21は、1番目~96番目の同期輪許容域Et(同期輪許容域Etの各No)のうちの車軸回転情報Dcを含まない複数の同期輪許容域Etに例えばフラグ「0」を設定し、この設定結果をメモリ15に一時的に保持する。位置判定部21は、タイヤバルブ4から電波Sva(バルブID1~バルブID4)を受信する度に、上記した複数の同期輪許容域Etのどの同期輪許容域Etが車軸回転情報Dcを含むのかの判定処理を同様に繰り返す。 The position determination unit 21 sets, for example, a flag “1” in a plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et including the axle rotation information Dc in the first to 96th synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et (each of the synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et). Set. On the other hand, the position determination unit 21 sets, for example, a flag in a plurality of synchronous wheel allowable areas Et that do not include the axle rotation information Dc in the first to 96th synchronous wheel allowable areas Et (each No of the synchronous wheel allowable areas Et). “0” is set, and the setting result is temporarily stored in the memory 15. Each time the position determination unit 21 receives the radio wave Sva (valve ID1 to valve ID4) from the tire valve 4, which of the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable areas Et includes the axle rotation information Dc is included. The determination process is repeated in the same manner.
 図5は、バルブID及び車軸18の組み合わせを絞り込む具体例である。図5において点線四角で強調表示されたように、5番目(No.4)および6番目(No.5)の同期輪許容域Etが、フラグ「1」に設定されている。このことは、バルブID(例えば、バルブID1)を1回目~3回目に受信したときに、車軸18(例えば、車軸18a)の車軸回転情報Dcが、毎回、5番目および6番目の同期輪許容域Etに含まれることを示す。位置判定部21は、車軸18a~18dのうち、バルブID(例えば、バルブID1)を複数回受信したときに車軸回転情報Dcが同じ同期輪許容域Etに含まれている車軸18a~18dについて処理を継続してくことにより、4輪の車軸18a~18dを絞り込む。すなわち、位置判定部21は、新たにバルブID(例えば、バルブID1)を受信した場合に、バルブIDを1回目に受信したときから前回受信したときまでに同じ同期輪許容域Etに含まれた車軸回転情報Dcに対応する車軸18a~18d、つまりフラグ「1」が継続して設定されている車軸18a~18dを残していくことにより、受信したバルブIDに対応する車軸18a~18dを絞り込む。 FIG. 5 is a specific example of narrowing down combinations of valve IDs and axles 18. As highlighted in the dotted-line square in FIG. 5, the fifth (No. 4) and the sixth (No. 5) synchronous wheel allowable range Et are set to the flag “1”. This means that when the valve ID (for example, valve ID1) is received for the first time to the third time, the axle rotation information Dc of the axle 18 (for example, the axle 18a) indicates that the fifth and sixth synchronized wheels are permitted. It is included in the area Et. The position determination unit 21 processes the axles 18a to 18d in which the axle rotation information Dc is included in the same synchronous wheel allowable range Et when the valve ID (for example, the valve ID1) is received a plurality of times among the axles 18a to 18d. By narrowing down, the four-wheel axles 18a to 18d are narrowed down. That is, when the position determination unit 21 newly receives a valve ID (for example, valve ID 1), the position determination unit 21 is included in the same synchronous wheel allowable range Et from when the valve ID is received for the first time to when it is received last time. By leaving the axles 18a to 18d corresponding to the axle rotation information Dc, that is, the axles 18a to 18d in which the flag “1” is continuously set, the axles 18a to 18d corresponding to the received valve ID are narrowed down.
 位置判定部21は、車軸18a~18dから、受信したバルブIDに対応する1つの車軸18を絞り込むことができれば、そのバルブIDおよび車軸18の組み合わせを確定する。位置判定部21は、この絞り込みの処理を、受信するバルブID1~バルブID4ごとに逐次行い、どのバルブIDがどの車軸18に関連付けられるのかを判定する。位置判定部21は、4輪全てにおいて位置判定を完了すると、その判定結果をメモリ15に書き込み、タイヤ位置を更新する。 If the position determination unit 21 can narrow down one axle 18 corresponding to the received valve ID from the axles 18a to 18d, the combination of the valve ID and the axle 18 is determined. The position determination unit 21 sequentially performs this narrowing process for each of the received valve ID1 to valve ID4, and determines which valve ID is associated with which axle 18. When the position determination for all four wheels is completed, the position determination unit 21 writes the determination result in the memory 15 and updates the tire position.
 本実施形態の構成によれば、以下に記載の効果を得ることができる。
 (1)複数の同期輪許容域Etを予め設けられ、これら同期輪許容域Etのどの同期輪許容域Etが、各バルブIDの受信の度に取得した車軸回転情報Dc(カウント値Ct)を含むのかを、総当たり確認することにより、バルブID1~バルブID4と車軸18a~18dとを紐付けして、タイヤ位置を判定する。このように、本例の場合、タイヤ位置の判定にあたっては、どの同期輪許容域Etが、バルブIDの受信を契機に取得した車軸回転情報Dc(カウント値Ct)を含むのかを確認するだけの処理で済む。よって、タイヤ位置の判定に使用する計算の負荷を低く抑えることができる。すなわち、複数のデータを集めて計算したり、或いは複雑な計算をしたりしなくても、タイヤ位置を判定することができる。
According to the configuration of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) A plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et are provided in advance, and the synchronous wheel allowable range Et of these synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et is the axle rotation information Dc (count value Ct) acquired each time each valve ID is received. By checking whether or not it is included, the valve ID1 to valve ID4 and the axles 18a to 18d are linked to determine the tire position. Thus, in the case of this example, when determining the tire position, it is only necessary to confirm which synchronous wheel allowable range Et includes the axle rotation information Dc (count value Ct) acquired when the valve ID is received. Processing is enough. Therefore, the calculation load used for the determination of the tire position can be kept low. That is, the tire position can be determined without collecting and calculating a plurality of data or performing complicated calculations.
 (2)初めから予め決められたデータとして同期輪許容域Etを設定しているので、タイヤ位置の判定において計算が少なく、計算にかかる負荷も一定にすることができる。
 (3)同期輪許容域Etは固定値であるので、同期輪許容域Etを更新するという面倒な処理を実施せずに済む。
(2) Since the synchronous wheel allowable range Et is set as data determined in advance from the beginning, the calculation of the tire position is less and the load on the calculation can be made constant.
(3) Since the synchronous wheel allowable range Et is a fixed value, it is not necessary to perform a troublesome process of updating the synchronous wheel allowable range Et.
 (4)複数の同期輪許容域Etは、カウンタ20による車軸回転情報Dcの計測単位である「1」ずつ、ずらされている。よって、予め用意される複数の同期輪許容域Etを最小単位で設けることが可能となるので、バルブID及び車軸18の紐付けを、より正しく判定するのに有利となる。 (4) The plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et are shifted by “1” which is a unit of measurement of the axle rotation information Dc by the counter 20. Therefore, it is possible to provide a plurality of synchronous wheel allowable areas Et prepared in advance in the minimum unit, which is advantageous for more accurately determining the association between the valve ID and the axle 18.
 (5)各同期輪許容域Etは、タイヤバルブ4が有する電波送信の公差に準じた範囲(公差の範囲)に設定されている。よって、同期輪許容域Etをタイヤバルブ4の公差という好適な範囲に設定することが可能となるので、タイヤ位置をより正しく、また短時間で判定するのに一層有利となる。 (5) Each synchronous wheel allowable range Et is set to a range (tolerance range) in accordance with the radio wave transmission tolerance of the tire valve 4. Therefore, the synchronous wheel allowable range Et can be set within a suitable range of the tolerance of the tire valve 4, which is more advantageous for determining the tire position more accurately and in a short time.
 (6)同期輪許容域Etは、バルブID受信時に行われるバルブID及び車軸18の紐付け確認において、毎回、同じスタート位置(同期輪許容域Etの端点Pbがパルス「0」をとる位置)から変位されていく。よって、バルブID受信時に車軸回転情報Dcを複数の同期輪許容域Etと比較する計算において、毎回、同期輪許容域Etを同じスタート位置にセットするだけでよい。よって、タイヤ位置を判定するにあたり、計算負荷を軽減するのに一層有利となる。 (6) The synchronous wheel allowable range Et is the same start position (position where the end point Pb of the synchronous wheel allowable range Et takes the pulse “0”) every time when checking the association between the valve ID and the axle 18 performed when the valve ID is received. It is displaced from. Therefore, in the calculation for comparing the axle rotation information Dc with the plurality of synchronous wheel allowable ranges Et when the valve ID is received, it is only necessary to set the synchronous wheel allowable range Et at the same start position each time. Therefore, it is more advantageous to reduce the calculation load in determining the tire position.
 (7)位置判定部21は、バルブIDの受信を契機に車軸回転情報Dc(カウント値Ct)を取得したとき、複数の同期輪許容域Etのうちのどの許容域が、その車軸回転情報Dcを含むのかを確認する処理を実行し、同処理を、バルブIDを受信する度に繰り返していくことにより、同期輪許容域Etが車軸回転情報Dcを含み続けるのがどの車軸18a~18dであるのかを確認して、受信したバルブIDに対応する車軸18a~18dを絞り込む。よって、バルブIDを受信する度、複数の車軸18a~18dのうち対応する可能性のある車軸18a~18dを適宜絞り込みながら、タイヤ位置を正しく判定することができる。 (7) When the position determination unit 21 acquires the axle rotation information Dc (count value Ct) triggered by the reception of the valve ID, which of the plurality of synchronous wheel tolerances Et is the axle rotation information Dc. The axle wheel 18a to 18d in which the synchronous wheel allowable range Et continues to include the axle rotation information Dc is executed by executing a process for confirming whether the synchronous wheel allowable range Et includes the axle rotation information Dc. The axles 18a to 18d corresponding to the received valve ID are narrowed down. Therefore, each time the valve ID is received, the tire position can be correctly determined while appropriately narrowing down the possible axles 18a to 18d among the plurality of axles 18a to 18d.
 なお、実施形態はこれまでに述べた構成に限らず、以下の態様に変更してもよい。

For example, the acquired axle rotation information Dc can be changed to another position such as a determination start position.
